My stang got rammed!!!

[Numbles]

Well, I was just chillin in taco bell when my friend bill stands up and says OH ****, Dan, that guy just backed into your car. So we walk outside because the guy puled around and parked again. So heres the damage.

The hood is done. And I need a new one...
The headlight and side marker are finished.
The beizel for the headlights needs to be replaced.
And the front bumper has a gouge in it.

So heres what I need to find out.

Where is a good place to get a 96 cobra hood and front bumper. Preferable new. If I have to drop an extra 150-200 to have all new Cobra hood and bumper and lights. Im gonna do it. I have up[ to 500 but Id like to save for other stuff as well.

Anyone know where a good place is to get body parts. Ill post picks tomorrow when its light out. It looks like the guys truck sat on the front corner of me car.

EDIT:BTW, Ive gotten 2 quotes so far. One for $2016, and $2395. Both of witch are gonna charge this guy $551 for a new stock hood. So If I can get an aftermarket hood for cheaper. Then I have extra muney left over to get foglights, another cobra hedlight, and a bumper.

That sucks dude..

These things are sometimes good though (when not ur fault) cause you make your car better.. The cobra hood and front is a step in the right direction I dont know of a good place to get them though.

Holy Shoot!

How fast was this guy going? Musta been really hungry?

For your parts, I guess it depends where ya live. Shipping a hood is pretty expensive. In my case, it would cost a fortune for shipping a hood, so a real cobra hood would cost me less at the SVT dealer.

I did a quick check for you in the FRP 2004 catalog.

2000 Cobra R hood part #m-16612-ROO $535.00
1995 Cobra R hood part #m-16612-R58 $525.00

These are suggested retail prices. Some dealers will deal, for instance, the club I'm in gets a 15% discount (minimum) on all parts, ford or SVT.

Work with the body shop you chose for repairs some will allow you to get other parts for your car like a cobra hood (as long as they are they same price) and just repair it as a stock repair.

Actually my friend bill knows the owner of the shop I working with. So dealing with him wont be a problem. Alls I got to do is give him the money for laborand paint when I get it and then I have the rest to get the hood and bumper and stuff.

Well here are some pics. Im gonna be too busy tomorrow so I decided to take them tonight.

[urban96]

i didnt know we had fiberglass hoods

Like I said before the stock hood costs $551 through the body shop. And I looked into the compand Age Classic Design. They can get me a 96 cobra bumper and hood for $608 plus shipping.

So Im starting at about$50 out of my pocket for the cobra hood and bumper. Where should I look into getting the nice headlights I see on the cobras and the foglights. Anyone know a good place to get those for a good price.

 

[mytight95]

E-bay, lol but really if you find a reputable seller they will prob be the cheapest, is that the hood you want, you can get most any hood for about 350$. Is he gonna charge you anything extra to prep and prime etc and spray the new parts? If not your getting a good deal

 

[Numbles]

mytight95. Thats what all the body shops are charging for the stock hood. They all use the same supplier. every price on every part it the same. The advantage I have is that since someone else hit my car and I know the owner of the body shop, I can do this.

Body shop charges this for the parts.
$551.20 for hood
$141.25 for the one headlight
$50.60 for one sidemarker
TOTAL - 743.05

Total cost at lets say 50resto.com (I just checked this one out, Im thinking about this site instead)

$379.95 for 96 Cobra hood including shipping
$329.95 for cobra bumper cover
$93.90 for cobra foglights
$239.95 for cobra headlights and sidemarkers.
TOTAL - 1043.75

1043.75
-743.05

Thats roughlt $300 its gonna cost me. Paint and labor will all be paid for. Should I do it?

 

[urban96]

i would check ebay for better deals on the headlights and foglights, you can also find the cobra bumper for cheaper on ebay too
